CTTC is pleased to announce the 3-day course Ground-Based SAR deformation monitoring: data analysis organized by the Geomatics Division of the CTTC and sponsored by IDS (www.idscorporation.com). The course will cover the relevant aspects of GBSAR data analysis to understand advantages and limitations of this new technique and correctly exploiting and interpreting its data. Lectures [...]

The results of this study, useful for seismic analysis, contribute to the study and understanding of this seismic event of exceptional magnitude Researchers at the CTTC have estimated the ground deformation suffered in a wide area of Nepal, as a consequence of the Gorkha earthquake of 25 April 2015 and its replicas. The estimate was [...]

The journal article entitled “Use of Satellite SAR for Understanding Long-Term Human Occupation Dynamics in the Monsoonal Semi-Arid Plains of North Gujarat, India” co-authored by Núria Devanthéry and Oriol Montserrat from the Geomatics division of CTTC, is mentioned in the earth online webpage of ESA as an example of using ENVISAT data for Archaelogical applications.

November 5th, 2014 ABSTRACT: GAL project aims the study and development of a state-of-the-art methodology for the determination of precise and high-resolution gravity field models. The key issue is the precise Kinematic Airborne Gravimetry (KAG), with the joint use of most recent techniques and technologies, such as EGNOS, GPS, Galileo and strapdown Inertial Measurement Units [...]

In the context of this PhD thesis defense, Núria Devanthéry Arasa presents her work realized at CTTC . Abstract: Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) is a group of advanced differential interferometric SAR techniques that are used to measure and monitor terrain deformation. Different PSI techniques have been proposed in the last two decades. In this thesis, [...]

Since October 2013, the Geomatics Division of the CTTC is working on the GINSEC project, “Enhanced GNSS-BF-INS Solution for Unmanned Vehicle control”. The project is scheduled to finish on September 30th, 2015. The goal of the GINSEC project is to build a precommercial prototype of a low-cost, accurate and reliable navigation system for professional drone [...]

ABSTRACT: Drones. That word, capable of evoking the worst fears to some of you -yet, also evoking some of our (the Geomatics division’s) best feelings and memories! Indeed, Geomatics and Unmanned Technology have come together since around thirty years now; so it is time to time to stop and look back to understand how they [...]
